Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The graphics style reminded a lot of jet set radio on the dreamcast, its colourful with a cell shaded look and suited the game, sound effects were standard and did the job, music was excellent and typical "skater game" tunes, sadly I turned the music off for the video review due to any potential copyright, what did listen to off stream was excellent though.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The art style is gorgeous, the power-ups really allow you to customize your playstyle, overall it feels like a wholly original concept.
